Ok I can't complain truly because I got an AMAZING deal on these sheets I just got. They are 600 thread count egyptian satina cotton sheets and are SO very soft and comfty and they were on this freak sale for 16.95.

So ya that was boring and way not blog worthy but just felt like sharing it....sub change

It has been raining here for oh FOREVER and my poor kids are going CRAZY wanting to play and run. Yet even when it stops raining for an hour or two it is grey windy and SOGGY from where the water doesn't have a proper way to drain here due to poor planning from the people who laid out this neighborhood. I know we need rain and I know it helps my herbs, flowers and veggies grow but still GRRRRR at least give me 3 days of sun in a row!!! Ok enough crabbing today.

My sweet little girl

Poor dear she is the sweetest most precoius (in my mind) little girl to ever live! Well, she is just in LOVE with Bindi the jungle girl ok like she looks up to her so much. Wants to be a zooalogist (spelling??)/vet/animal rescuer. She has watched Steve Irwin since she was gosh 14 or 15 months old. She has recently made a superpoke pet on my myspace page. She thinks it is just glorious and has such fun. My mom made one on her page as well and named it Bindi in honor of Makayla....well, miss mak new this yet when she recieved a gift the other day from my mom for her pet mom had written a little letter from Bindi for Mak's pet. I realized however as I was reading the note to M and she became more and more hysterical and screaming then throwing herself in my arms to teary and happy for words what had happened....my sweet little girl thought Bindi the Bindi had written her M wanting to be best friends with her. She was so overwhelmed and so excited I didn't have the heart nor did my mom to set her right. She was so emotional that even mom and I cried! She wanted to write Bindi a letter *straight away!* telling how she loved her and would love to be her best friend and how she was homeschooled too and how she couldn't wait to come see her in Australia. *sniff sniff* it was so sweet and pitiful for words all at the same time....

So today *grrr* this SNOTTY boy in the neighborhood and we shall refer to as MB short for Mr Bossy! Just broke her heart! He is one of those kids that is smaller then lots of the other boys but somehow gets them all to do what he says and is just so controling and attention seeking and grr snotty and oh gosh is he ever a ball box! So the other day he told M that her little friend J *a boy she has known since they were both born* wasn't going to be her best friend anymore or ever play with her again that he was only going to allow him to be his best friend and play with him. Today she was out there playing with her new Star wars toys and asked them if they wanted to come over and play as well and MB said "um don't you remember what I told you last time I played with you well it's true and he follows ME, come on J let's go play in the side yard." knowing that M isn't allowed over there. Her little lip trembled out and she just cried and cried going upstairs to get J's picture she has kissing it and crying on it saying no matter what MB says she'll always love him and be best friends with J. *ROAR says the momma lion* that is the first time I really thought I could punch a kid, lol I seriously just wanted to bust his butt for him! I was like ok Kelly just remind yourself that so the child is parented thusly he shall act. *Lord please let me pray for his parents and for him*

Rain rain

Go away come again oh a month of some other days away! Bleh no joke it has been pouring down the rain turing ourside yard (commen grounds) a SWAMP land and the kiddo's are starting to get on each others nerves because they want to run about and play. I am trying to not complain to much because I love flowers and I love the garden and KNOW just how much water those things need...but still grrr I need a few nice dry sunshiney perfect blue sky and breeze days too.

Enough griping now to the good stuff. I'm so glad I did the let's get organized thing! My kid's rooms have stayed clean for over a week now! The whole house is mostly clean lol *few little tid bits here and there but hey no one is perfect.* and school is going GRET! The kids are responding AMAZINGLY to our set routine and day. They have just loved it and are starting to even tell me "now it's number time or science time" whatever time of the school day it is. So very much fun. I've been just the proudest momma ever. Plus they are actually REMEMBERING what they have been learning! Makayla actually read a word the other day all by herself! She sounded it out and everything! Spelled it first then said what it was! I was so proud. It was the word zoo! She saw it on a bilboard!

Now to the 180 subject change

We have finally decided to bite the bullet and get a car. New to us not new new but new to us. We are going to get a minivan. I'm so happy!! We need one in the HUGEST way! We squish our three kids in a kia sportage right now!! Let me tell ya 5 and 4 year olds get quite aggrivated quite FAST in that close of quarters lol. So we are going to go in the next month and get a van. It will be great to have a second vehicle again as well. It's been a long time since we've had two set's of wheels! So now I won't have to call up my poor mom and bug her to take me somewhere or borrow her car for a moment during the day anymore!! WOOHOO!!!! :) Thank you hubby for that and for working so hard for our family!

Not a big fan

Of associations nope just not. Nor am I a fan of STUPID PEOPLE that sit around and think up reasons to report others to them. So ya my kiddo's M and E have a little wooden lawn table and a princess chair and cars chair that we set at them so they have some place to sit when they get tired or need a drink while playing. Well get this everyone apparently children's chairs are "offensive" and this was underlined and highlighted and capitalized THREE times in the NASTY letter we got from our dumb dumb association. So our by-laws state that lawn furniture is fine. Yet this rude horrid OFFENSIVE women is trying to tell me that because they are children's chairs they need to be folded up and put away when not in use. So I asked her do adult chairs on our porches and the porches of EVERY other unit but I think one need to be put away as well when not in use? "Of course not that is just absurd." Well my husband and I actually talked to a lawyer online and said we have more then enough grounds for a discrimination charge against them. LOL so he said to tell them if they write about it again that via our by-laws and what she stated about adult chairs we will not remove our children's chairs each night and that if they want to pursue this ABSURD issue then we will have no choice but to sue for discrimination and harassment. So ya even though usually they are icky I AM a fan of lawyers at the moment because they can tell you great stuff :) ROCK on all you little folks who sit in tiny princess chairs and get covered in dirt and scream with laughter and fall and get boo boos who melt my heart with your smiles! Offend away I say because this world needs to be shaken up a bit of a child is considered and offense!

Let's get organized

So ok I've always been one of "those" people. Ya know that every little thing is in it's place always neat and tidy and looking adorable. To the point where when my mom would put something away for me or dust *i'm a freak with horrid allergies and dust is one of my worst so yes my mammy would dust my room for me* I could tell when she'd moved something just because she didn't know the precise location it was suppose to be in lol. I had my whole days maped out and always schedualed wore make up looked cute ya know all that stuff. Orginazation was what I thrived on lived for loved lol. Seroius I HATE clutter and paper laying around and things not filed in their proper places having to look for things tripping on things all that.

THEN guess what I got married LOL ya so husbands lord love them are NOT organized unless you are one of those rare lucky women lol and probablly if your husband is organized your not lol I find it to be one of God's funny jokes. I think he get's great pleasure watching us grow each other. I mean that in a good way my faith in the Lord is what sees me through this life. Anyway so ya the hubs wherever he takes it off that's where it should be wherever he sets it down at that moment he'll forget it there wherever he falls asleep eating that bag of cookies or drinking that gallon of milk that's where it stays!! I growl and scream "M!!! I had to throw out half a gallon of milk honey! PLEASE try to remember to PUT IT AWAY!!!" LOL I can say this because he knows it and he knows I adore him. THEN guess what happened I had CHILDREN lol so my world became even more crazy. For so long now I have thought *because lot's of people loved to say stuff like "ok miss stuffy, ok miss prissy, ok whatever your to organized"* that I just needed to truly get over it and not worry about structure or order and just try and keep things and clean and tame as possible even if he made me crazy and want to rip all my hair out lol. .....

Well, I have come to decide that is NOT the case. At least not for my family. I think we NEED at least some order and some structure. I think it will seriously help us all. Things lately have just spun out of control and everyone keeps pushing bed times, wanting to eat at oh 10 at night waking up at 4 am or worse to me in some ways 10 and 10:30 am because there is no order no structure no true set times for things anymore. I feel like I'm constantly trying to remember when is the last time I cleaned that or scrubbed that or vaccummed there rooms or got to bathe! So a solution you ask whatever could it be...

LET'S GET ORGANIZED!!!!! Tomorrow morning after C's appointment I am going to Walmart *seriously gotta love that place* to get poster board, that clear paper stuff laminate I think it is, stars, and some sharpies! I am going to make up a schedual of the day for a month, list out times we get up we eat we do school *i homeschool* times we do chores, all that! I'm even listing Myk and I's chores ie he goes to work takes out trash kinda stuff and the days of the week i'm going to do differnt things...heck I'm even going to list baths! So fellow moms across the world here's to keeping your fingers crossed and hoping for a true change and break through and dare I say it ORDER!!! LOL

The "boice"

As aunt Lyndsey so perfectly put it miss Mak was THRILLED to hear the "boice" ie the voice by the celtic women in person. She was having to fight back the urge to get up and dance to it as she does in the house. She sang along lol even though softly she still sang along. At the end she told me "mommy as soon as I grow up when I join the celtic women singers you and daddy can come hear me sing at my concerts" it was grand!

I cried during so many songs. For those of you that don't know the Irish are so know for writing heart touch lullabies and well song period! I mean just amazingly beautiful stuff. These women have a way of writing and singing the songs in such a way that move even the "strongest" of men to tears. As I listened to words of songs of blessing and love I watched my baby girl who held my arm and leaned her head on me almost the WHOLE time with tears streaming down my face thinking how did I deserve her!! How did I EVER deserve that little creature I am looking down at that loves me nearly as much as I love her. I thought at that moment to make a life memory. I breathed in deep the smells around me taking in every picture of every little thing looking at her silky black hair knowing that when I lay old in my bed some day I will remember that moment that we shared together.

There was one song called Goodnight Angel I believe. It was a lullaby to a child and at the end it says "when someday you hear a baby cry and you sing this lullaby there will always be a part of me with you." At that moment I of course was snubbing as M was rubbing my arm pouring out I love you's and isn't it so beautiful mommy. Today though as we drove to pick up my husband was when I about couldn't breathe from the tears that caught up in my chest. She said out of the blue "mommy adelwise with our extra words that's the lullaby I'll remember forever and sing to my babies." Sniff sniff phew like I said how lucky we be the women that God blesses with children! Because there is NOTHING and I mean NOTHING that can touch you and bless you and change you as much as your children. I praise God everyday for them and I'm so thankful I got to share your first concert with you baby girl...I bless you and you bless me too.
